In India, a deemed university or deemed-to-be-university is an accreditation granted to higher educational institutions by the Ministry of Education under Section 3 of University Grants Commission Act 1956. The Indian Institute of Science is the first institute to be granted deemed university status on 12 May 1958. According to the government's definition, the accreditation indicates, "an Institution of higher education, other than universities, working at a very high standard in specific area of study" and the accreditation grants "the academic status and privileges of a university". According to the UGC section 3 "The expression 'University' means a University established or incorporated by or under a Central Act, a Provincial Act or a State Act, and includes any such institution as may, in consultation with the University concerned, be recognized by the Commission in accordance with the regulations made in this behalf under this Act."
